The latest "Pokemon Sun and Moon" trailer has unloaded some exciting and important details about the highly anticipated pair of "Pokemon" installments.

There were three Pokemon introduced. The first one was Wishiwashi, a Water-type Pokemon with a Schooling ability, whose solo form looks more adorable than scary.

That is, of course, until the newly unveiled "Pokemon Sun and Moon" character reaches a certain level and takes on its far more menacing school form.

The second "Pokemon Sun and Moon" creature to be unmasked was Pyukumuku, another Water-type Pokemon that has the rather interesting Innards Out ability, which does exactly what its name says.

The third and last new Pokemon shown in the "Pokemon Sun and Moon" trailer is Morelull, a grass and fairy-type Pokemon with the Illuminate and Effect Spore ability.

In the clip, its opponent appears to have fallen asleep after tasting the Morelull's attack, thus the third "Pokemon Sun and Moon" creature's name suggests.

Meowth, Marowak and Raichu's Alola forms in "Pokemon Sun and Moon" were also revealed. Meowth's Alolan form featured the Pickup and Technician ability. Marowak's had the Cursed Body and Lightning Rod ability.

Raichu's Alola form has the Surge Surfer ability. In addition, when the electric terrain is active, the creature's speed doubles, making for a more intimidating Raichu.

The "Pokemon Sun and Moon" trailer also revealed that there's a new villainous squad on the block –Team Skull, who seem to have no time to waste.

One of the members is "big sister" Plumeria, who deals with the grunts who do not know how to follow the rules. The team is led by Guzma aka the "big boss" who would love to show "Pokemon Sun and Moon" players "what destruction looks like."

"Pokemon Sun and Moon" will be released on Nintendo 3DS on Nov. 18. More details about the game should be revealed as its launch nears.
